Richard's daughter Vicky said to me, "You were his best friend and he loved you so much." That got me all teary-eyed again.

That's so lovely.

You clearly brought so much to his life.

Post-funeral vibes for BK. I have several cousins at Hillside but no close relatives.

Yes, I'm really at my college reunion. Tonight was Tech Night at the Pops which is always a highlight for me. Symphony Hall is so incredible and Keith Lockhart continues to do a fine job.

I survived the half dozen Latin dances this afternoon.

That's great, John!

The one bad thing was that I forgot to take the cash and Chapstick out of my jeans and transfer it to my slacks. I am a well known Chapstick addict and it was really difficult not having it.

My lip balm of choice is Blistex and I hate it when I need it and don't have it.

On the way to the party at Richard's house, Google maps took me on a completely crazy route, but when I finally figured out where I was, which was Ince Street in Culver City - the street that houses The Culver Studios, where we shot The Creature Wasn't Nice.

That's pretty cool!

Apparently, his stay at the hospital for ten weeks was horrible - they found a tumor on his vocal chords and had to do a tracheotomy - that was toward the end and I think that's why he let go.

Page six - again?

Guess I should write some notes.

Tonight, we played Phase 10 at my mom's.

George · « **Reply #168 on:** May 31, 2024, 11:48:29 PM »

My friend Shelly played, and she'll probably become a regular player with us.

George · « **Reply #169 on:** May 31, 2024, 11:49:29 PM »

My niece stayed home, so there were still only five of us: me, Shelly, my mom, Mona, and Dee who is Mona's friend and former neighbor.

George · « **Reply #170 on:** May 31, 2024, 11:49:54 PM »

Dee won the first game, and my mom won the second game.

We had much to nosh on, so we did.

Shelly brought a purchased cheese, salami and olives container.

George · « **Reply #174 on:** May 31, 2024, 11:51:43 PM »

My mom is the only one who likes olives, so she was happy.

George · « **Reply #175 on:** May 31, 2024, 11:54:22 PM »

We also had popcorn, two different kinds of crackers, tangerines, and carrot cake sandwich cookies with frosting in the middle.

George · « **Reply #176 on:** May 31, 2024, 11:54:36 PM »

Those carrot cake sandwich cookies were really good!

George · « **Reply #177 on:** May 31, 2024, 11:55:22 PM »

We all had a good time and will get together again next Friday.

George · « **Reply #178 on:** May 31, 2024, 11:55:29 PM »

And now...

George · « **Reply #179 on:** May 31, 2024, 11:55:36 PM »
